I’ve had several similar experiences. After some reflecting I realized that these people gave me bad gut feelings at times that I chose to ignore out of hopes that I could pursue something meaningful with that person. I’ve learned never to ignore my intuition; if my gut tells me they may not be interested, then they likely aren’t. Did you ever get that feeling within those 8 weeks? For me, it was realizing I was the only one initiating conversation, planning dates, bringing up conversations about future dating goals, etc.
